Who We Are

Sons of the American Revolution

SAR Genealogical Research Library

The Sons of the American Revolution is the leading male lineage society that perpetuates the ideals of the war for independence. As a historical, educational, and patriotic, non-profit corporation, we seek to maintain and expand the meaning of patriotism, respect for our national symbols, the value of American citizenship, and the unifying force of "e pluribus unum" that was created from the people of many nations -- one nation and one people.

Any adult male who can trace his lineage to a direct ancestor who gave direct support to the American Revolutionary cause is eligible to apply for membership.
